lclaims.

The object of my invention is to provide an improved tube intended to contain fluid or semifiuid substances, such as pasty substances, oils, pulps, or the like, which will be of lower cost,

less heavy and liable to be torn off than the usual similar tubes made of tin or lead. With this aim in view I provide a tube comprising a tubular sheath of a fabric of natural or artificial textile material, waterproofed by sizing, impregnating or metallising, woven in one piece, therefore without a longitudinal seam, and closed at both its ends, the closure at at least one end being obtained by means of a stopper having one or a plurality of ejection orifices for the substance with a closure device of any kind for said orifice or orifices.

It is furthermore advantageous for the outer surface of said sheath tobe covered with a protecting coating.

Such a sheath can advantageously be made or dressed cloth to which any desired degree of rigidity can be given.

When there is a stopper at only one end, the other end is closed by simply cementing the walls, by compressing said walls by means of ametallic or like joint, or by applying a metallic or plastic substance,

The stopper or stoppers can be made of plastic material or of metal and fixed by cementing,

stamping or by pressing.

80 Preferably, the stopper has two surfaces between which the wall of the tube is peripherally clamped, which clamping is obtained by crimping or by screwing on each other two parts to which the said surfaces'respectively belong. V

. On the other hand. in a particular construction of such a tube, the sheath is made oi. ornamented fabric, inparticular of embroidered fabric, which gives the said tubes 9. stamp of elegance making them worthy of a place in a lady's hand bag.

By way of nonlimitative examples, two different embodiments of the connection between the sheath and the stopper have been shown in the 45 accompanying drawing.

In said drawing, Figs. 1 and 2 are longitudinal sections along the axis of the tube.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a part of the tube 8 which screw onto each other. The ,end of the 10 casing I is peripherally adjusted on the part i and the extreme edge of the sheath is bent down on the outer face of said part 5 which is cupshaped. The part 6 has a complementary shape so that the end of the sheath I is firmly clamped 15 between the parts 5 andi.

What I claim is: I

1. In a small container for fluid or semi-fluid substances, comprising an impervious tubular body closed at both its ends the closure at at least 20 one end consisting in a stopper fiuidtightly secured to saidtube and provided with at least one ejection orifice, and a closure device for said oriiice, said tubular body consisting in a tubular sheath of a waterproofed fabric of textile ma- 2 terial woven in one piece, i. e. without a longitudinal seam.

2. In a small container as in claim 1, said tubular body being made of waterproofed dressed cloth externally covered with a protecting coating.

3. In a small container as in claim 1, said tubular body being made of embroideredfabric externally covered with a transparent protecting coating,

4. A small containerfor fluid or semi-fluid substances, comprising a tubular sheath of a waterproofed fabric of textile material woven in one piece, i. e. without a longitudinal seam, closure means at both ends of said tube, said closure 1 means at at least on e end'consisting in a stopper 40 fiuidtightly secured to said tube and provided with at least one ejection orifice and a closure device for said orifice,'said stopper comprising two pieces removably screwed'one upon the other and pro- I vided respectively with clamping surfaces in. mu-

tual tight engagement and between which is engaged the edge of the tube wall.
